New British Games Statistics

Boys and girls, today we won't talk about the most popular console, the rate of growth of the industry, and not even about the average age of video gamers, although those would be pretty interesting topics. Today, we'll talk about the holiday shopping spree in the UK, since the race for the #1 title of the month is already over!

Well, the British didn't celebrate the Christmas and New Year just yet, but since the full holiday charts showing the best sellers of the lead-up to Christmas are ready... you can check them out below:

1. FIFA 09
2. Call of Duty: World at War
3. Mario Kart Wii
4. Need For Speed Undercover
5. Dr Kawashima's Brain Training
6. Wii Play
7. Quantum of Solace
8. Professor Layton and the Curious Village
9. Tomb Raider Underworld
10. Wii Fit

All I can say is that I am extremely disappointed for seeing a game like Need for Speed: Undercover getting such a good ranking, but that's life. Junk food sells, and junk games... not always, only sometimes, especially when they come from EA.
